Stories by Sixth Division Marines

On the Point of the Spear
G/3/29 Roster, April-June 1945

The information for this roster is from the April, May and June official USMC company rosters for G Company, 3rd Battalion, 29th Marines of the Sixth Marine Division. The company was on the island of Okinawa during those months.

Names are in alphabetic order and not by rank. The rank shown is the lowest rank. There were promotions during and after the battle that are on the original company rosters but are not shown here.

The number immediately beside the rank is the month that the man joined G Company. If there is no number, he was an original member of the company when it landed on 1 April 1945.

Those who joined the company in June are listed at the end of the roster, since most of them joined the company late in that month and only three of them were wounded and none killed.

The three digit number immediately beside the KIA and WIA is the month and date when the casualty occurred. For example, beside a man's name might be "WIA609", showing that he was wounded in action on 9 June 1945.

Where there is a question mark (?) instead of a date, the exact date when the man was wounded is unknown to me, but he is listed in the History of the Sixth Marine Division (the green book) as receiving the Purple Heart Medal. Where there is a date and a question mark (?), the actual date is uncertain but the most probable date is shown.

There were woundings where no Purple Heart was awarded for some reason (the man did receive treatment from a corpsman but not a medical officer or didn't spend the night somewhere, etc.) and those are not included. In addition, injuries and illnesses are not shown.

The information for DOW (died of wounds) is sketchy on the rosters, so in most cases they are shown as KIA.
